init

init installs the trigger needed before each HTTP request. It also establishes the baseline for all times and creates the log path.

before_request

Log as much of the request state as we can.

before_cleanup

Append the current user to the request log. This isn't done in one fell swoop because if the server explodes during a request, we would lose the request's data for logging.

This, strictly speaking, isn't necessary. But we don't always want to lug the sessions table around, so this gets us most of the way there.

logged_request is checked to ensure that we don't append the current user if the current request couldn't be logged for whatever reason (perhaps a serialization error?).

get_loghandle

Creates the loghandle. The created file is named PATH/BOOTTIME-PID.log.

Returns undef on error.
